Presentation
When the narrator, a Parisian Intellectual, splits up with her companion, Paola, with whom she had lived for ten years, her whole life is turned upside down. It is very hard for her to accept the end of this affair, but she doesn’t resign herself: In order to forget Paola and feel alive once more, she starts collecting mistresses and launches herself in a quest for pleasure and lust. To fill the void left by Paola, she travels from Paris to New York, through Rome, Berlin, or Portugal, always searching for new embraces, new caresses, and new bodies. But each time « after love » the feeling of loss comes back. In this never ending circle of seduction, all the women, Edwige, Garance, Sandy, Eva, Delphine and all the other furtive, one night stands seem interchangeable. Will the meeting with Héloïse prove a new beginning…
Brilliantly interweaving romanticism and lust, tenderness and violence, Après l’amour is a sensual and sexual novel that explores the raw power of feminine lust and the mystery of pleasure.
Après l’amour is Agnès Vannouvong’s first novel.
